Color Capture App Reviews

The color match isnt accurate enough for this to be practical. I prefer the Behr app, as it allows you to paint virtual rooms and explore and develop whole color palettes WITH a color capture feature included. Way more versatile.

Great app! Very helpful!

No instructions. Shows only color swatches. Doesnt paint the walls

Without the ability to white balance the captured photo colors there is no way that this app can even come close to matching the paint. Thst such a basic item is missing unfortunately makes this more of a novelty item than really useful. Its a shame too as it could be a great program.

App crashes when accessing photo library and camera. Color books are helpful when e-mailing swatches. Its another tool in your tool box. But keep in mind pixel picking as an M.O. to pull colors is an average sample. Its helpful to illustrate tone boards but if you are ordering quantity of paint use a fan deck. Sheen, uneven light, fluorescents, etc seen in a photograph often miscalculate the swatch color.

I went to our Benjamin Moore store today and was upset at how far off the colors are from the app to the swatch. Totally different! I was informed that they knew that the phones distort the colors. In my opinion this makes the app totally useless.

Not good, I should ask you the money that I lost buying wrong color. Its a painter dream

This app saves me a lot of time choosing paint colors and color harmony for airplane paint schemes. Paint chips have helped me in the past, but rounding up what I need from various suppliers is onerous at best. I wish I could send the Ben Moore colors right to IPads photo albums though, instead of e-mailing colors to myself. Lots of fun to use, but I agree with other reviewers that the app needs more features. All in all, I love it!

I like the concept of this App, I think it can come in handy for keeping a record of what paints I use where. However, I tried using the camera on my phone to match a color on the exterior of a house, one in direct sunlight and one in indirect sunlight. I got two completely different colors, neither one of which came very close to the actual color. When I went through the Collections edition of Benjamin Moores paint colors and got a fairly close match, I couldnt type in the paint number and get the color and when I typed in the name of it, the app said it didnt exist. I can understand how the camera color matching wont work as light sources and reflections can radical change the tone of a paint, and it did get me in the area, but I dont understand why I cant punch in a number or name of a paint and get the color.

I find the app generally helpful. Though I know the colors on my iPhone 4s are nowhere accurate to the real thing, I do find it very helpful in the fact that the colors are all very relative to one another. This gives me a good idea if Im matching colors relative to others Im already familiar with. Though in the end, I would still use my actual fan decks. I do also wish, the app would allow you to pull in more then five personal colors in your Favorites pallet. As it is, you have to generate multiple favorites groupings.
